For now, let’s cover some basic gardening hacks that your brand new garden can truly benefit from. Some of these hacks may just surprise you!

1. Use Coffee Filters To Prevent Excessive Drainage

Having trouble with excessive water drainage with one of your potted vegetable plants?

Excessive water drainage can present a problem for your potted plants, especially over time as your plant continues to grow and summer weather approaches. Here’s a cool hack to fix this problem!

Place one or two coffee filters in the bottom of your potted plant to slow down excessive water drainage. Water will still escape but, with this useful hack, the soil will have time to absorb the water it needs.

With a knife or scissors cut about ½ an inch to 1 inch off the bottom of the jug.

Place carefully over your starter plant.

Secure jug in place by covering about an inch of the bottom with soil.

Always leave the jug lids off. You can water your plants through the opening. Also, leaving the jug lids off will allow the plant to breath.

3. Protect Your Survival Garden With Plastic Forks

Want to protect your vegetable garden bed from pests such as racoons, rabbits, and more? These pests can literally destroy a garden overnight!

Try this awesome hack. Place plastic forks (between the plants and pokey side up, of course) throughout your garden bed. Use as many plastic forks as you like to make it as difficult as possible for any pest to travel through your garden. They’ll quickly realize the hassle and leave. They will not return!

4. Re-Using Eggshells For A Healthier Vegetable Garden

Eggshells will give your vegetables a calcium boost!

Rinse all eggshells and store them in a container. When you are ready to use them, simply crush them into a fine powder (you can do so with a blender) and sprinkle on the soil surrounding the vegetable plant.
